Pep Guardiola says Kevin De Bruyne will not leave Manchester City this summer.
Saudi Pro League club Al Ittihad have been linked with De Bruyne, who has a year remaining on his current deal and last month admitted he has been discussing the future with his wife Michele. However, speaking ahead of Manchester City's friendly against Celtic in North Carolina, Manchester City manager Guardiola told reporters 'Kevin is not going'.
I still have one year of contract, so I have to think about what can happen. 'My eldest is now eight years old and knows nothing but England. He also asks how long I will play at City.

Sometimes you have to think about that.
